Giveaway--Little Blends and Snack Jar Thermos

Horizon Natural products recently sent me a gift for blogging about how I sneak fruits and veggies into my children's meals. In addition, they sent an extra one for me to giveaway. So, up for grabs is a cute little snack thermos with a separate top storage section with a folding spoon that fits inside, another baby spoon and a coupon for a FREE 4-pack of Little Blends yogurt. This is a perfect thermos for school lunches, but is also great for adult lunches. Pack a fruit salad or a bowl of greens for a fresh, healthy lunch!

Little Blends yogurt brings together veggie and fruit purees in a delicious yogurt with a creamy texture that kids love. So your kids get the benefits of whole milk yogurt and an extra helping of vegetable goodness. Visit their website for more information and great coupons! http://littleblends.com/natural-goodness.html

I cut up veggies and slip them into everything. I make a "Frosting" with very finely crushed almost pured veggies. Even for breakfast when he gets an omlete it gets ground spinage and carrots or broccali and he never knows the difference. With fruit i add it to yogurt because thats the one thing i dont have to fit him to eat :)you can reach me on my email ms.discoverytoys at yahoo dot com

My kids eat TONS of fruit. Veggies are different. Some they will just eat on their own, others need to be told in a story. Sometimes the little tree (broccoli) needs to get put in a cave (his mouth) before it gets drenched by all of the rain (his water). Sometimes that works. It depends each day.

my kids like to eat their veggies raw, so i do that a lot and add some dip. we also do a lot of clapping and cheering and 'feeling the muscles getting bigger' with each bite. when you select my name, email me at jenegsmom@bellsouth.net. :)

My girls love to be independent and grown up, at two, so one of their favorite things to do is help themselves from the package. If I give them the plastic basket of berries or cherry tomatoes, they will eat the whole thing! Also, I cut up green pepper slices and put them in a snack size baggie and they walk around the house munching on them.msaliciaa@hotmail.com

If I make enchiladas I try to sneak in some corn inside, I try to add veggies to pastas and other dishes, so the kids eat them without noticing. But I would love to try the little blends, my kids love yogurt so if they can get veggies that way, it would be great. ThanksNbellowsdove@gmail.com

I have the cookbook Deceptively Delicious and I use that as a guide. I sneak cauliflower into mashed potatoes, carrot or squash puree into mac n cheese and avocado and tomato into quesadillas. For fruits, I puree and spread onto toast or make smoothies with yogurt.

I always keep extra fresh fruit and veggies in the house. A lot of times I will already have celery and carrots cut up and little servings of dips so they can easily grab them. My email adress is tgoforth1984@yahoo.com

Well, if I can't puree it and cook it up in muffins, bread, or pancakes then I boil it in tiny chunks and add it with fruit, pudding or jello to "mask" the taste. Melted cheese works some times too and ranch dressing (if your not on a healthy kick that is).amomsrantings at gmail dot com
